Photoshop crashes each time i start it and it then does not respond and after 3 to 4 min sarts

On starting photoshop on my macbook pro it crashes and does not respond and only after 4 minutes does it start, does any one have any suggestions on how to fix this as it is annoying to always have to wait for photoshop to start

Hi Andy.  Can you give us some information?
Which version of OSX?
Which version of Photoshop?
Is this a new installation? Or how long has it been working OK before this problem?
Do you have any external drives?
What are your Photoshop Scratch disk arrangements?
The sort of issues that can cause a crash on start up are bad fonts

  • HT4061 the screen is blank and the phone does not respond even after pressing the on/off and home button. the only reaction is the vibration felt when I plug in to charge the phone. What should I do?

  • Firefox 4.0 freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6.

    Firefox 4.0 is the WORST browser I have ever seen. It freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6. Tasks I used to do in 30 minutes, now takes me 40 minutes or more. I went back to 3.6 and immediately had a tremendous improvement.
    Mozilla needs to get rid of this load of lies about a new crap program, and go back to the 3.6 version. Version 4.0 is WORST than any other program I have ever seen.

    The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
    There are several fixes:
    Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
    Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
    Find Speedyfox using a web search.

  • Firefox takes 6 minutes to load and then does not respond so what should I do?

    After starting Firefox on my Mac (10.8) it takes 5 to 6 minutes to appear. A minute or so later the "Bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of the files is being used by another application" message appears and Firefox either does not respond or responds very slowly to various mouse clicks and such. For example, I wanted to disable all plug ins and when I clicked on Tools and Addins it took three minutes for the tab to open and after 20 minutes still nothing had appeared on the tab. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting the Mac, resetting Firefox to the default settings, starting Firefox in safe mode, renaming the places.sqlite file, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from a fresh download, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall in which I remove the Firefox folder from the Application Support folder after uninstalling, and relocating the plugins folder. I've tried just about everything in every Firefox support article that there is and nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful.Thanks.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

    Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes. So when i connect my iphone to iTunes, the computer says"itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"
    So my question is if I click OK(restore the iphone),will i lose all my data and whatsapp??
    Thank you for your help and time.

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

  • My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

  • Flashplayer pop up box  "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

    just installed iOS 5 and my phone does not ring and i can't hear my keys stroke sounds is there any solution to this problem

    If KiltedTim is correct I agree with him. If the phone is not hacked try temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall that may be blocking access to gs.apple.com. See also this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194

  • Photoshop does not respond, once after startup!

    Hi there,
    Recently, i have bought a design standard CS 5.5, after installing and using for quite some time. The Photoshop CS 5.5 does not respond whenever i want to open any Photoshop file, once after startup?
    This issues has only occur in Photoshop but not my other adobe products.
    Hope to get some help!

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance etc.)?

    Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
    are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
    they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
    different causes and also different cures.
    With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
    most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
    One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
    from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
    or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
    Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
    Thanks.
    Good luck & happy computing!
